1965001842NY: Pantheon Books 1965. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. Sharp first edition of the French philosopher's first book to appear in English translation: an abridged version of his 1961 doctoral thesis which tracks the shifting conceptions of madness and reason from the Renaissance to the Modern Age. Informed by Foucault's own struggles with mental health as well as the time he spent working in a psychiatric hospital in the 1950s the book is widely seen as an attack on the medicalization of madness as mental illness. Rather than an inevitable humanist victory Foucault reads that position as a mode of bourgeois social control one supported by a selective historical narrative. Madness and Civilization seeks to upend that narrative by highlighting crucial discontinuities in the history of madness. Though Foucault himself falls prey to over-selectivity at times in his presentation of facts his landmark work remains one of the most important texts in the post-structuralist history of ideas. Translated from the French by Richard Howard using at its source the version of the text abridged by Foucault in 1964 and published in the Plon 10/18 series but with the addition of material selected by Foucault from the original edition including the chapter "Passion and Delirium." With an introduction by Dr. José Barchilon. Octavo 6 x 8.5 in.; xiii 299pp. with notes at rear; red cloth boards; gold spine lettering and brown design stamped on front board; in dust jacket.

Very light stain at head affecting nothing closed tears and crease at dust jacket head. Else good. Pages 205-636 are uncut. Based on his thesis first read by Dumezil and Hyyppolite this is Foucault's culture-breaking examination of the meaning of madness in the cultures and laws politics philosophy and medicine of Europeâ_x0080__x0094_from the Middle Ages until the end of the 18th centuryâ_x0080__x0094_and a critique of the idea of history and of the historical method. It was his first major work originating in his academic study of psychology his work in a Parisian mental hospital and his own personal psychological problems. "History of Madness is formed from both Foucaultâ_x0080__x0099_s extensive archival work and his intense anger at what he saw as the moral hypocrisy of modern psychiatry. He argued that the alleged scientific neutrality of modern medical treatments of insanity are in fact covers for controlling challenges to conventional bourgeois morality. In short Foucault argued that what was presented as an objective incontrovertible scientific discovery that madness is mental illness was in fact the product of eminently questionable social and ethical commitments".

Pp. 337-464. Foucault's paper: pp. 458-462. With titlepage to volume 82. <br/><br/><em>First German edition of the famous paper in which Foucault presented his discovery of the proof of the rotation of the earth by the large pendulum called FOUCAULT'S PENDULUM. It was presented by Arago at the meeting of the Acadey of Scieces on February 3 1851.Since Léon Foucault’s public demonstration of his pendulum experiment it has played a prominent role in physics physics education and the history of science. The Foucault pendulum is a long pendulum suspended high above the ground and carefully set into planar motion. The phenomenon described by Foucault1 concerns the orientation of the plane of oscillation of the pendulum. "The experiment with the pendulum caused great exitement at the time. Heracleides had first suggested twenty-two centuries before that the earth was rotating and Copernicus had renewed the suggestion three centuries before. Since the time of Galileo two and a half centuries before the world of scholarship had not doubted the matter. Nevertheless all evidence as to that rotation had been indirect and not until Foucault's experiment could the earth's rotation actually be said to have been demonstrated rather that deduced."

Light rubbing cover edges scattered foxing. Complete with the foldout plate demonstrating Foucault's apparatus diagramatically reproduced in DSB VOl. 5 p. 85. A Comparison of this velocity in air and in water would be clear experimental test between the wave and particle theories of light since the former required light to travel faster in air; the later; in water.Fizeau returned to the rotating mirror to compare light's velocity in rare and dense media but here he was beaten by Foucault who announced on 30 April 1850 that "light travels faster in air than in water" Foucault's first experiment carried out in 1850 and written up in full in his doctorial thesis of 1853; was purely comparative; he announced no numerical values until 1862.

Clean and fine. <br/><br/><em>First printing of Foucault's famous experiments on the velocity of light with the description of his improved equipment the rotating mirror. Foucault's method was later developed by Michelson and Morley in their famous experiment in 1887."Foucault’s first experiment carried out in 1850 and written up in full in his doctoral thesis of 1853 was purely comparative; he announced no numerical values until 1862. Then with an improved apparatus he was able to measure precisely the velocity of light in air. This result significantly smaller than Fizeau’s of 1849 changed the accepted value of solar parallax and vindicated the higher value which Le Verrier had calculated from astronomical data. Foucault’s turning-mirror apparatus was the basis for the later determinations of the velocity of light by A. A. Michelson and Simon Newcomb."DSB.Leon Foucault used a similar method to Fizeau. He shone a light to a rotating mirror then it bounced back to a remote fixed mirror and then back to the first rotating mirror. But because the first mirror was rotating the light from the rotating mirror finally bounced back at an angle slightly different from the angle it initially hit the mirror with. By measuring this angle it was possible to measure the speed of the light. Foucault continually increased the accuracy of this method over the years. His final measurement in 1862 determined that light traveled at 299796 Km/s. Magee "A Source Book in Physics" p. 342 ff. and "Source Book in Astronomy" p. 282 ff. </em> unknown
